a hundred childish voices, floated, as it rose, into exquisite
harmony : —

«¢ Friend of sailors and of children,
Double claim have we,
As, in youthful joy, we ’re sailing
O’er a frozen sea. *
Nicholas, St. Nicholas,
Let us sing to thee !

¢¢ While through wintry air we ’re rushing,
As our voices blend,
Are you near us? Do you hear us,
Nicholas, our friend ?
Nicholas, St. Nicholas,
Love can never end !

«¢ Sunny sparkles, bright before us,
Chase away the cold ;
Hearts where sunny thoughts are welcome
Never can grow old.
Nicholas, St. Nicholas,
Never can grow old !
